- "Problem still present" is a -1 if the bug is listed as fixed.
Otherwise a +/-0.
- "Regression causing new problems" is a -1, and requires a comment
explaining the issue and explicit confirmation that the issue is not seen in earlier version.
That should work for bugfix updates, but updates that don't fix bugs will never get any positive karma. You might argue that no update should be done if there are no bugs to fix, but what about bugfixes where the bugs have been reported upstream but not in Red Hat's Bugzilla?
I also think there should be separate choices for "still works for me" and "fixes my problem". "Fixes my problem" would be what you called "works for me", while "still works for me" would be for testers who had no problem before and don't see any regressions.
